Is there co place on the face of the earth
Whero charity dwellelb, where virtue hath
birth ?
Whero besoms in mercy aud kindness will
heave,
And the poor and wretched ehall “ask and
receive f”
Is there no place on earth where a knock
from the poor
Wdl bring a kind angel to open the door?
Ah ! search the wide world wherever you
can,
There.is no open door for a moneyless mate
Go look in yon hall, where the chandelier’s
light
Drives off with its splendor the darkness of
n’ght,
Where the rich hanging velvet, in shadowy
fold,
Sweeps gracefully down with its trimmings of
gold,
And the mirrors of silver take up and renew,
In long lighted vistas, the wandering view—
i Go there iu your patches, and find, if you can,
A welcoming smile for a moneyless man.
Go lock in yon church of the cloud-reaching
spire,
Which gives back to the sun hU same look
of red fire,
Where the arches and columns are gorgeous
within,
And the wails seem as pure as a soul without
siu ; #
Go down the long aisle, see the rich and the
great
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly
estate ;
Walk down iu your patches, aud find, if you
can,
Whyopeus a pew to a moneyless man.
Go look to yon Judge in his dark fiowiug
gown,
With the scales wherein law weigheth equi
ty down,
Where he frowns on the weak and smiles on
the strong,
And punishes right, while be justifies wrong.
Where jurors their lips on the Bible hath
laid,
To renders verdict they’ve already made—
Go there, in the court room, aud tied, if you
cun,
Any law for the cause of a moneyless tnau.
Go look to the banks, where Mammon has
told
His hundreds of thousands of silver and gold,
Where, sale from the hands of the starving
and poor
Lies pile upon pile of the glittering ore ;
Walk up to the counter —Ah, there you may
stay
Till your limbs grow old and your hair turns
gray,
And you’ll find at the banks no one of the
clan,
With money to lend to a moneyless man.
Then go to your hovel ; no raven has fed
The wife who has suffered too long for her
bread;
Kneel down by her pallet, and kiss the death
frost
From the lips of the ar.ge! your poverty lost,
Then turn in your agony upward to God,
Aud bless, while it smites you, the chasten
ing rod;
And you’ll fiud at the end of your life’s little
span,
There’s a welcome above for a moneyless man
Hi Hill gaga ti*.
Josh Billings relateth Lis first expe
rience with the gong tliusly :
I can never eradicate hnli from nty
memeory the sound of the first gong I
ever heard —I was settin on the front
fiefs of a tavern in the sitty uv Buffer
lo, pensively smokin. The sun was go
in to bed, and the beveus fur and nere
were blushing at the performance. The
Ery Kanal, with its golden waters, was
ou its way to Albany, at-d I was perns
in the lino uv botes a fl a’in bi, and
thiukin uv Italy (whvre I used to live)
and her gondolers. My on tiro sole, as
it were, wc z in a swei, I wanted to klime,
I felt grate, I actually grew. There-are
things in this life tu big to be trifled
with ; there are times when a man braks
lusc from himself, when he sees spir
rite, when he can almost tuch the mun',
and feels as tho ho cud til both hands
with the stars uv beven —almost fware
he was a tank president. That’s what
ailc 1 me.
But the course uv true love never did
run smutb (this was Sitakspeare’s opin
ion, too.) Just as I wos daing uiy best
—dutuaicr, pummer, spat, bong, boiler,
crash, roar, ram, dummer, dur^ —with
one tremendous jump, I s'roc the ter.-
tcr of the sidewok, with another I stood
in the middle of the street, snorting like
an Irjine pony at a band ol musik
Gazin io wild despair at the tavern
stand, aud hart swelled up as big as an
out door oven, mi teeth were as lose os
a string of bedcs I tb«t all the crock
ery in the tav.ro hud fell down. I
tbot uv fonomenoiiß. 1 tbot of Gabrel
and bis horn. I wa* just on tbe pint of
thinkin uv something else, when the
landlord kum out to the front steps uv
the tavern, holding by a string the bot
tom uv an old brass kettle. He kaw;ed
me gently with bis hand, I went slola
and slola up to him, he kammed my
foeres, he sod it wuz a gong, 1 saw tbe
cu-sed thing, he sod supper was reddy,
he asked we if I wud have black or
green tea, and I sed I wud.
Ami at perfection in_cverytbing, and
although good aims do not alwaye pro
duce iet feet results, yet those who strive
for the best, and persevere, will oome
muoh nearer to it than tho ono whose
laz'.niss and defpoudency makes him
give it up as unattainable. Be not over
come by bmall failures, but redouble
jour tfftrts and icuew your determiut
pon to Ecccced.

Aiigier (>ettplli Him a N«*w
Organ.
Binee the Era and the Governor have
n adc pcaoe, ibe literary Treasurer has
been “put to it 1, for an ‘Lrgan.” Ho
has, however, at last made bis scleetiou
in tin person of the Federal Ruin
The last Dumber of the Ruin contains
» long and bran new proclamation by
the treasurer, in which he has anew
woe, in addition to his former iliiad.—
Besides his usual stock of abuse against
the Gov., he is down on ono “Fitch,”
whose paper, it appears, he roads but
does not psy for. We don't propose
to take the time or trouble to make ex
tended comments on this letter. We
tbiuk a great deal of the Treasurer,
(that is wo ued to.) Before the war
there wasn’t a cleverer man in Atlanta
than Angier. We believe he would
prefer to be a olcver man now, if he
could arrange his business to suit that
oharaoter. We know exactly what ails
him. The war demoralized h’m in the
first place ; after the war he did wbat
tu.ny others did—played his yaokec
birth and pretended loyalty for a big
office; got the office and added much
to the already respectable pile that ho
made out of the neces-itie9 of the peo
ple during the war. It was all right
enough perhaps from a “rebel” point of
view, to make all he could out of the
gnvtrnment which bad oppressed us,
but in the pure light of sterling loyalty,
such dealings might not bear close scru
tiny However, we don’t propose to
“go for” Aogier as a Federal officer
Having milked his Federal office dry,
it gave him an appetite for still fatter
game—he must handle the purse of
the Slate of Georgia. By the aid of
negro Radical voters, who took
be “one of them,'’ he got hold of the
purse strings; he and the Governor fell
out; how, we don’t exactly know, but
tucliued to the opinion that Angier
wouldu’t divide fair; and straightway
Angier is seized with an awful dysente
ry of virtuous indigoa’ion, to which be
gives vent through the papers. And
now wc come to the poiut wo started
for, aod that is, a little advice, both to
Aogier anil our friend of
the “ Ruin.” To Augior we say, buy
you a paper, “luck, stuck and barrel.”
X ou say the Governor has “bribed into
silence quite a number of newspapers,”
(this is supposed to allude to the four
teen or fifteen papers which publish the
proclamations, &u , aud, by the way, is
a courteous and elegant chargo against
he most influential papers in the
8t .te.) Now upon your supposition
that the Governor has “bribed” these
rogues into silcucc; of course, with a
little more “bribery,” he could turn the
whole pack loose upon your devoted
head. Then where would you be un
less you had a paper of your own to
fight them with ? We therefore, again
urge you to buy a “machine.” The
Star is not fur sale just now, but when
ever it is to be put on the market we
will let you know. Now for friend
Hough ten; of the Ruin ; let us cauii n
you agaiust (be blarny us our oily
tougued treasurer. Such language is

Olooiny Accounts of the Cotton
Crop ill Arkansas.
Helena, Auk., Sept. 18.
Reliable panics from various sections
of the couuty and State, in town to day,
give more gloomy accounts of tho cot
ton crop than have fbt been had. It is
generally and particularly a-serted that
the middle and low r crop sre all tbat
will be made, tbe former being excecd
ingly light. The top cron is an entire
f.ilure. The cold Northwest winds of
the last week proved disastrous to the
squares and young bolts, and no bloom
has matured biuco tbe 15th of Augurt.
Upon a comparison of notes with plan
ters from all parts of the country, it
was unanimously agreed that an aver
age of seven hundred pounds of seed
cotton to tbe aero will be the yield of
Phillips county. Aecouufs from Inde
pendence, Jackson, IV oodruff and
White counties, and fr m the \\ hite
River Valley, generally indicate a sim
ilar falling i ff, aDd in some ioftances
show a muoh lighter and more deficient
yie’d.
Phillips is a fair cri'onm of the riv
cr counties, while reports from the cot •
ton region of Arkansas valley shew
tbat if half a crop is made, it will be
the maximum yiell. In 6Gnvj instances,
uot even one-third cf a crop will be
mad. from a magnificent promise in
July, the crop is Dcxt to a failure iu
Sep ember. We have no more eh ering
accounts from the crops in Tunica, Co
ahoma, aud ths other cotton counties of
Missis, ippi.— Cor. Memphis Avalunth*.

“Well, a dollar or two a week, I
suppose,” said Jim.

The Rome Courier of the 23d ultimoy
says :
Colonel Hulberf, as Superintendent
of the State Rtad, has employed Rev.
Charles Wallace Howard to make a thor
ough survey of the southern slope of
L tukout Mountain in search of iron,
coal petroleum oil. Mr. Howard left
this city yesterday with two servants, a
wagon and camp equippage, and wilt
commence the survey ia the neighbor
hood of Alpine, near the line of Chat
tooga couuty, Ga, and Cherokee, Ala
bama.
Judging from his thorough scicntifio
attainments, nod his great love for and
devotion to geology aud mineralogy, wa
confidently hope for important results
from this survey.
It is generally known that iron exists
in the greatest abundance all through
this reotion, and tbat bituminous coal
crops arc in many places, but it is not
known that the latter is in veins suffi
ciently thick and near cheap transporta
tion to pay for the mining. Between
the mouth of John's creek and Coosa—
ville, in this county, Mr Howard thinks
the indications of petroleum are quite as
good as anywhere in tho oil regions of
Pennsylvania.
The Atlanta Con*titution, referring tr»
the subject of the State Fair and its in

31uny of the persons who will bo
there are among the most distinguished
men of both parties North. They
have been invited, they have accepted
those unsought invitations in a kindly
spirit, and Southern hospitality must
do its duty on the occasion and th»
courtesy due to guests of the State
must be shown litem Let onr people
be polite without sycophancy, attentive
without obsequiousness, and dignified
without hauteur to those guests, what
ever be their politics; let us show
them Southern character in its best
light—hospitable, courteous, frank, en
ergetic, generous—warm friends end
magnanimous foenieh; chivalric and
liberal; knowing what is due self-re
spect, but not carping or prejudiced ;
let the occasion be improved to frater
nize with the good, and we believe
that great benefit will result beyond
the mote physical consequences u 1 tlia

Secretary Boutwell that he should watd>
with close scrutiny the conduct ot sotao
of the national banks of New York city,
which, it is supposed, have lent them
selves to the bu-dness of locking- up

thinks '.hat if the charter of two or three
of these banks.wore taken away fron*
them it might he a wholesome I‘cssob to
the others.
